it means "little Frog"


Ranunculus

I am still trying to find out why the Latin word origin for this lovely thing is tadpole or little frog. Is it seeds or roots or something else? It is a cousin to buttercups not amphibians.

photosynthesis is Happenin'


Cabomba caroliniana, Carolina Fanwort

Biology II, photosynthesis lab experiment. I have become Custodian of the Cabomba, charged with being able to provide a supply for next session of Bio II. I need to make sure it does not take over the world or escape into waterways, it can be invasive in warmer waters. I wonder if it makes good salad fixings?
